GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

Death is the privilege of human ma
ture-R0a0e.
The truest end of life is to know the
life that never ends.
Nothing but the Infinite pity is suffi-
cient for the infinite pathos of human life.
Aman may honestly think himself hon
est, and a fresh weeks experience make him
doubt it altogether.-Fd6er.
One fire puts out another. Nothing so
effectually kills the fear of man as abundance
of the fear of God.-Spur0eon.
Courage that grows from constitution
often forsakes the man when he has occasion
for it, courage which arises from sense of
duty acts in uniform manner.-AddtSOn.
He who spends his younger days in
dissipation is mortgaging himself to disease
and poverty, two memorable creditors, who are
certain to foreclose at last and take possess
sion of the premises.
"We have seen it mentioned as a won
der by old Puritan WRITER'S" says Spurgeon
that certain fish live in the salt sea, and yet
their flesh is not salt. We have met with far
greater singularities in the spiritual world,
namely, men who live in a sea of grace, and yet
are not gracious"

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Some Of Which are Perhaps q Little too
Fresh.
Ladies' hats are now large enough to be
seen with the naked eye.
Pelerines trimmed with beaded epauletts
and bugles are popular. The pelerines should
not be killed before they are six weeks old,
as they are tough before that age.
The upright jabot is coming to the front of
the hat.
Mikado reed and bead portieres grow more
in favor than ever. They should, however,
never be used for trimming MORE Francois
gowns.
Ostrich tips are becoming numerous again,
but the old style silver quarter is in as much
demand as ever in most restaurants.
Trained gowns are reserved for dinners of
high ceremony. If trained properly, they
can be made very useful on these occasions
Handkerchiefs are now made of tiny squares
of batiste or foulard, cut low in the neck,
and trimmed with MORE antique.
Summer pattern dresses are provided with
parasol, fan, and beau to match.
Bonnets of tulle cut bias are embroidered
with straw and provided with sleeves a Ia

PAYING OFF OLD SCORES.
Russia's Retaliation for German Antag-
Onism in 1878 and 1886.

Russia's Retaliation for German Antag-
onism In 1878 and 1886.
The Russian ukase forbidding foreigners to
acquire estates on the western frontier Of
Russia is designed principally to put an end
to the influx of Germans into Russia. There
are in Russia so many German factories,
workshops, warehouses and farms, the pro-
auctions of which are of profit to Germans
exclusively, that the Russian government
regal DIS them as detrimental to the country,
owing to their competition with Russian in
dustries. Besides, most of the Germans in
Russia are members of the German army re-
serves, and, in event of war, they might be-
come hostile outposts, familiar with Russias
topography, resources and strategic condi-
ton, and might seek an alliance with the
Poles.
The ukase will not effect its object imme-
diately as it does not disturb foreigners who
are already landlords. Many hold land
under temporary concessions which will not
be renewed when their terms expire. 1t is
expected that the tenants will then leave
their holdings and that the owners of the
land will find circumstances so adverse that
they will also be compelled to leave. This, to-
gether with the Russianizing movement in
the Baltic provinces, will produce an increas-
ing breach between Germany and Russia and
render impossiblea renewal of their former
cordiality which was undermined by Prince
Bismark's action at the Berlin Congress and
his policy in the Bulgarian crisis.-London

A minister Who Means Business.

While the minister was preaching last
Sunday in Dakota town which is having a
boom a man in the congregation who was
sitting near a window arose and said
II beg your pardon, elder, but just one
word'

There are couple of big, fat men who
look as if they might be capitalists outside
here looking at the churchyard."

Couple O. fat-looking capitalists hangin
over the fence and acting 'sif they wanted

as that sop replied the minister, begin
ming to get excited and stepping up on the
altar rail to see out. "You go right out and
talk to them, brother go right out and tend
to the matter. Give them an option on it
and if they've got the money to buy this
real estate We'll snake this church off into
the street so quick it will make their heads
swim.-Ddkotd Bell

and assures you "that it's so hard to get
boxes big enough to hold ones gowns"
and her amazement, If you suggested
that enormous trunks could be gotten at
some special shop, would only be equaled
by her horror if you should suggest that
she ask the conductor about the sunny
side of the car, when really she could
Tip the guard" and "he'd tell her all he
knew" This little fad is amusing, so
there is no reason why, as 1t is innocent,
it should not be allowed to run its
course, which one is certain will be a
short one and dreadfully handicapped by
the brain exercise necessary to good
speed. Bah.

HER WILL AND HER WAY.
WILLIAM LYLE.

Her papa stormed and her mamma cried;
Laura smiled and said, "Well see;
snap for all your family pride.
My Wills good enough for me-"
They raved and vowed "You shall not get
wed;
Well shut you up night and day"
But Laura smiled on and sweetly said,
"Where there's Will there's a way"
Will thought so, too, and one dark midnight
The maid grew sick just to suit
-Four doctors came, so that science might
Ger her symptoms hold dispute.
BY some queer chance Master Will was
there,
And as 1 hear the folks say,
The doctors left them a welded pair
"Where there's Will there's way"
The row, next morning, began with "minx,"
But before the sun had set,
Arrangements were made to hold high jinks,
And the word was changed to pet"
Will was happy as lark in the sky,
So ended this little play;
The old folks were pleased, and Laura
why,
She had her Will and her way.

WARFARE OF THE FUTURE.
Courage and Physical Strength VIII b,
Discounted.

Courage and Physical Strength VIII be
Discounted.
Any one who has seen the destructive
work of Calling guns and reads of the pre-
cision Of aim attained by an Ohio battery in
the contests at Washington, will wonder
whether war can be again carried on at close
quarters. The bayonet will certainly be of
less use than ever, now that magazine and
Gatling guns are parts of the regular arma-
ment. In tests of the Calling gun made at
Hartford, Conn.,, canvas target, covering
regimental front, has been cut in two for its
entire length by q few discharges from q
Calling gun battery. 1t would be physically
impossible for troops to stand such dis
charge, apart from any question of their
courage and willingness to expose them
selves to danger. The supposed tendency of
these Improvements in the weapons of war
is in the interest of peace-maklng nations
less disposed to fight and bringing wars to
an early conclusion. They will also increase,
IL is supposed, the value Of strategy and the
more intellectual military qualities. Courage
strength and personal skin were the main
elements in the days of hand-to-hand en-
counters, but with Improvements in arms
the intellectual forces have taken amore and
more commanding position.-Phila. Ledger

Vanishing Fores. wealth.

It is stated that zoo, 900 acres or twenty-nine
per cent. of the available pine lands of this
country lie within Wisconsin and Minnesota.
1t will, therefore, readily be seen that their
lumber supply comprises one of the greatest
sources of wealth OF these two States. 1t is
accordingly proposition that will hardly be
gainsaid that the preservation of this source
Of wealth is matter of the most vital i'm

When drowsy evening trails her robe
And decks the twilight hens,
With cleaning light, and flashes bright
Of lustrous dewy gems.
And one by one adjoining stars
In azure blue aloof,
In brightness shine-by art divine
Set in its sable wool.
The little ones begin to nod
And sleepy eyelids fall;
Then evening soft bears them aloH
To dreamland, one and all.
Where beings clad in gossamer
OF woven CLINT and CLEAN,
Tread blithe and gay the milky way,
The highway of the dream.
Then do they know indeed if stars
Are but the watchful eyes
Ofangels bright, who note the fight
OF every one who dies.
And filled with wonder and delight
At everything they scan;
In childish glee, the moon they see
Indeed contains man.
They see the blush of conscious dawn
Her rosy life begun;
See Luna wink and fade and blink
At the approaching sun.
Behold her retinue of stars
Fade softly from the view;
And give to day, with lessened ray,
A glimmering adieu.
Then evening takes their little hands
And down the milky way,
They lightly tend, till they descend
Unto the edge of day.
And they begin a wondrous flight
Held in a soft embrace,
And down the sky, they lightly HE
Across the mighty space.
Then as the mornings chanticleer
Begins his new refrain,
They're safe in bed, the night is sped
And life awakes again.

CONSERVATIVES MEET.
A LETTER FROM JOHN BRIGHT READ
BEFORE THEM.
He Says Mr.. Gladstone Is Committed
to Hobby That He Can't Shake

Must Resign.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The annual meet
ing Of the National Union of Conserva-
tives opened at Oxford yesterday. MIR.
Ashmead Bartlett, NJ. p, presided One
thousand delegates were present, repre-
senting England, Wales, Scotland and
Ireland An address congatulating the
Queen upon her jubilee was adopted.
A resolution in favor OF fair trade was
carried by large majority. A resolution
in favor OF reform OF the English church
was adopted unanimously A letter was
read from Mr.. Bright, referring to his pro-
posal to send Irish bills to grand com
mittee composed Of Irish members. In
the letter, MIR. Bright says: "fhe rebel
party will not accept the proposal, because
they are rebels, and, with equal Irish
members in the House Of Commons, the
plan would not be allowed TO work. Mr..
Gladstone has q hobby, in which the
rebel leaders have, for q time, agreed to
join him. He is committed to that hobby,
and cannot descend 20 consider plan less
pretentious but more reasonable than his.
Nothing can be done until Mr.. Gladstone's
bills have been entirely got rid OF and the
position is wholly changed. Mr.. Gladstone
stops the way. He insists upon iupossi-
BILE legislation for Ireland, to the exclusion
of legislation for the whole kingdom. The
Gladstonians still have faith in him. They
are anxious to return to power, and they
are furious because the Conservatives are
in Office, and they blame me and others
for keeping them true. They seem blind
to the fact that Gladstonc's conduct put
the Conservatives in office. They forget
that the electors of Great Britain, by a

FRANCE.

II is plain now that there Is an organized
effort aioot 10 force President Grevy to re-
sign. This, he says, he will not do. Be-
sides the effect II would have upon the
people Of France to strengthen u belief in
his culpability with Wilson, IL would
be very bad precedent Neither
Theirs nor Mcmahon could recon
ellie themselves TO being advised by
a Cabinet, to being merely constitutional
executives, and they, therefore, were forced
to resign. They stood in the way OF the
purpose Of the people they represented to
bring the government of France 10 a con-
dition Of well balanced safeguards and
securities, such as could only originate
in compromise between the En-
glish system Of responsible ministry
and the American system Of
q constitutional executive. President
Grovy, profiting by their mistake, and
having but the interests OF his country at
heart, comedies the necessity for change
OF Ministry whenever there is an antago-
nism between ministers and a majority
